“Stupid” driver slammed after high speed takeover ends in brutal crash
A 4WD driver towing a large boat who lost control of his vehicle while attempting to overtake a car at dangerously high speed has been criticised by commenters online.
Footage shows the 4WD speeding past two cars on a single lane highway at Braidwood in NSW, attempting to overtake them both, before the vehicle and the boat attached to it begin to dangerously spiral.
It didn’t take long for the car to lose its bearings, as it rolled onto the road and came to a stop.
The crash, which took place on Braidwood Road, was captured on dashcam and shared by popular group Dash Cam Owners Australia on YouTube yesterday.
The controversial video was watched by thousands of people, most of them surprised at the motorist's reckless behaviour.
One commenter said the driver was “crazy level stupid” while others said it was just “lucky he didn’t take another’s life, or his own”.
“Laid waste to everything he owns showin’ off to his mate,” one user commented.
"We have all done stupid things while driving at some point in our lives, but it's the level of stupid that is the topic of discussion here," one YouTube user commented.
"Why would you overtake two cars at high speed with a boat on a trailer behind you? He should have just kicked back, turned the music up and enjoyed the scenery.
"Would have gotten to his destination quickly enough and his car and boat would have been in one piece each, not scattered across the road in thousands of pieces."
"Well at least he got in front, that should save him some time," one commenter said sarcastically.
The video revealed that the driver was lucky enough to escape without a scratch.
